Causes of Arab Auto Accidents

Thousands are injured each year in automobile accidents in Alabama. There are various causes of auto crashes including:

  • Lower gas prices mean more people on the road not paying attention
  • Driver fatigue
  • Speeding: Almost 1/3 of all fatal car crashes in the U.S. are caused by excessive speeding. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speed is a primary factor in accidents in the U.S. In 2017, speeding killed 9,717 people, accounting for more than a quarter (26 percent) of all traffic fatalities that year.
  • Weather and road conditions: Fog, ice, floods, snow and heavy winds create driving hazards and limit visibility for safe driving.
  • Driver distractions: Some common distractions are passengers, cell phones, satellite radio, hands-free devices and outside distractions. A driver who is texting is 23 times as likely to crash.
  • Drunk driving: Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents in the U.S. There was an alcohol-impaired traffic fatality every 48 minutes in one recent year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 30 people die on a typical day in accidents caused by drunk drivers. It is responsible for nearly 30% of all fatal traffic crashes, resulting in more than 10,000 deaths per year.
  • Pedestrians
  • Failure to yield
  • DVD players, music and headphones
  • Running red lights and stop signs
  • Disregarding traffic signs
  • Driving too fast for road conditions
  • Failure to stay in proper lane
  • Failure to watch for motorcycles
  • Failure to yield to pedestrians
  • Following to close
  • Improper passing
  • Reckless driving
  • Wrong way driving
  • Texting and driving
  • Construction zones
  • Wet roads
  • Road debris
  • Icy or snowy roads
  • Driver error
  • Shoulder drop-offs
  • Night driving: Night driving is particularly dangerous for new drivers and older drivers with vision problems.
  • Drowsy driving: Approximately 7.5 million drivers in the United States admit to having fallen asleep at the wheel within the past month.
  • Overweight trucking loads
  • Defective vehicle parts
  • Poorly maintained vehicle
  • Hazardous road conditions

What to do After An Auto Accident

  • File an accident report with the police, sheriff or highway patrol, if the agency has not done so at the scene.
  • Write down the name, address, insurance information, vehicle license number and driver’s license number of any and all persons involved in the accident. Record names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses.
  • Obtain photographs of the accident scene, all vehicles involved (before repairing) and any visible injuries to the parties involved, such as cuts, bruises, and scars.
  • Do not discuss the accident or your injuries with anyone, with the exception of your doctor and your attorney.
  • Do not consent to a recorded statement or sign any document without first reviewing it with your attorney. Innocent statements made by you attempting to assist an insurance adjuster can easily be misinterpreted and used to deny or minimize your recovery.
  • Immediately seek medical attention and tell your doctor the nature and extent of your pain and injury, and how the injury occurred.
  • Track Your Expenses.
    A strong claim clearly outlines the financial impact of your accident. Keep records of your:

      • time away from work,
      • mileage driven to doctors’ appointments,
      • rental car expenses,
      • medical bills,
      • and any other expenses your accident has caused.

About 4.4 million people were injured seriously enough to require medical attention in crashes last year. An individual who negligently operates a motor vehicle may be liable for a wide variety of damages that an accident can cause, including but not limited to the following:

    • Disability and Disfigurement
